With the Olympics just two weeks away, the U.S. is warning its athletes — don’t advertise your nationality while in Sochi.

According to a U.S. Olympic Committee memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. is urging American athletes not to wear their official team gear outside of Sochi’s venues, since doing otherwise could put their "personal safety at greater risk."

But State Department spokesperson Marie Harf said this sort of precaution is not unique to Sochi. “We generally give this sort of guidance around international events, particularly if there is some kind of threat like we see here.”

Still, with threats growing by the day, the Obama administration has signaled its concerns with security in Sochi.

But will it be enough to protect the 500 U.S. athletes and their coaches, along with about 10,000 American spectators scheduled to attend?

U.S. officials are preparing for the worst. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday the U.S. is prepared to evacuate Americans if needed.

The Pentagon has deployed two warships to the Black Sea as a precaution, and the State Department issued a warning to all U.S. citizens traveling to Sochi, advising them of the potential threats.
